Obviously, holding the sources in now 3 (!) different places (it is absolutely not clear to me why it needs to be on GitHub twice, btw) holds the danger of splitting SMSQ/E development into various branches, especially when people don't know where the master is stored. I don't even dare to think wha...

I'm with Derek. I try to stay away from floppies as far as possible. I'll only use them as last resort when I can't get files transferred otherways. My GC QL has made a quantum leap in usability (sic) with QLSD and Wolfgang's new drivers.

Your picture quality is incredibly good considering you are using the modulator.

Nice find, and nice achievement, Rich! (Although most of the language is more than Greek to me, I think APL is the only programming language that is as hard to read as it is to write). I once worked in a Uni institute for fluid dynamics, where most of the numerical problems were solved (? - not real...

And coming back to the original question - which was about creating QLWA file systems on an SD card - it shouldn't be necessary to install an emulator - free or otherwise to achieve that. It isn't. You were given some hints above you can do everything from Q68 directly, without having to refer to a...

Right. It also seems to be a fundamental law of something that a chip you have a replacement for is never going to die again

I actually tend to buy a bulk of like 10 16GB (µ)SDHC cards once a year. Don't see the point of selecting those things by target device. I have so many devices that use these cards that I decided on 16Gig minimum capacity. Also, there isn't really much money to be saved on smaller cards (sometimes t...

What you need as a base for a QXL file system is just a plain file of a certain size. No other requirements (everything else will be handled by formatting the drive from SMSQ/E). From Linux, you'd simply issue a command like dd if=/dev/null of=QXL.WIN count=10M From Windows CMD prompt, you can use t...

Martin,

yes, I guess it's line 70. Even if it isn't explicitly mentioned in the manual, INKEY$ without a channel defaults to #0, so SBASIC seems urged to open that window.

SImply change line 70 to read
